“Essex Children’s University™, where every child without exception, aged 7-14 years (and 5 to 6 year olds with their families) can study”
Essex Child
ren’s University is one of a growing number of Children’s Universities around the Country each working to provide children aged 7-14 years (and 5 to 6 year olds with their families) with exciting and innovative learning activities and experiences outside of the normal school day.

“Celebrating and rewarding achievements in learning is important to us …. learning can be the satellite navigation to better places in life!”
Issued with a Passport to Learning, children can travel around Essex and the UK with their Passport to Learning, collecting stamps in recognition of their learning as they go, after all travel is what a Passport is for!
Child First schools who would like to set up a Children’s University™ activity can apply to register their after school clubs as an ‘Approved Learning Destination’. To find out more, please visit the ESSEX CHILDREN’S UNIVERSITY WEBSITE by clicking HERE.
